As described in the Report, AI systems generate an output from one or more inputs, such as text, images, audio, video, or a combination of mediums.

AI responds to an input by generating an output in the requested format (text, image, audio, video). For example, prompts can describe a topic or subject that the user seeks to evoke, and can include an overall style, tone, or visual technique.
The chattering climate class and their war on coal

Sep 30, 2024 | spectator.com.au | Stephen Barrett

We should discuss energy so that people like Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen can no longer delude the world. Electricity is slippery stuff, in that it can be difficult to properly grasp what it is or how to quantify it. We can blame the school system. Teachers who were taught social politics at University must somehow teach mathematics and physics.
Dreams and schemes of electric vandals

Sep 9, 2024 | spectator.com.au | Stephen Barrett

Speaking about electricity, I’d like to apologise for South Australia as we have been free-riding for a long time on the dreams and schemes of electric vandals with an extension cord running out to coal-fired stations in NSW and Victoria. It looks to me that we are about to see the complete death of the energy industry in Australia.

The cost of designer handbags has been steadily increasing with goods such as the Chanel Classic Handbag now topping out at more than $10,000. As The Wall Street Journal recently observed, “Designers are charging more for their most recognizable bags to maintain the appearance of exclusivity.”1 As a result, cost-conscious consumers who want a taste of luxury are turning to the second-hand marketplace for more affordable, previously owned gems.
Defence is the topic of the day

Feb 25, 2024 | spectator.com.au | Stephen Barrett

The Albanese government has acted true to form with a big announcement that sounds like a lot is going to happen in Defence, but Albanese has set it on a very long timeline…It is almost as though Labor wants the announcement to win elections and to avoid having to pay anything for it.

As businesses and content creators increasingly depend on innovative online marketing strategies, ownership of social media accounts has gained significant value. A well-known social media handle – and that handle’s legion of followers – can be an invaluable component of a business’s or creator’s brand.

Feb 8, 2024 | spectator.com.au | Stephen Barrett

50 billion dollars… It’s money we spend to achieve a capable defence force every year. We are supposed to get something for our money, but we don’t. It would be easy to point the finger at the current government, which is acting true to ALP form and sacrificing defence to supply welfare projects that boost the government’s size and powers, but the previous Liberal governments were just as bad.
